    • If your iPad is still saying Lost iPad, get a pass and bring it to the media center to be unlocked

  • Media Center must be notified within 24 hours of iPad going missing, so we can ping its location

What if something is not working on my iPad? Try these steps:

  1. Try a different username, it should be either:    

29abc01      OR it could be:      29abc01@stucpsk12.org

  1. Close all apps, check that wifi is privatecps, and try again

  2. Toggle the wifi off/on – make sure it connects to privatecps

  3. Power it off all the way to the Apple, and then power it back on

  4. Check the iOS – if an update is available, install it

  5. Still not working? Get a pass and bring your iPad to the media center for help.

WIFI AND BLUETOOTH

Why do wifi and Bluetooth need to be left on ALL the time?

    • Having wifi turned on and connected to privatecps is crucial for all learning tasks that are done on iPads.

    • Having wifi turned on is crucial for pinging iPads – we can’t help you locate a missing iPad if wifi is turned off.

    • Having wifi on and cellular data enabled is required 24/7, no matter where you are.

    • Having Bluetooth turned on is required while you are at school.

Uh oh, my iPad is low because I forgot to charge it last night!

  • Should I turn off Bluetooth or wifi or use Airplane mode to make the charge last longer?

    • NO!!! That will not make a difference, and there is wifi in every classroom.

    • You can disconnect your Bluetooth earbuds instead of turning Bluetooth off; this might save a bit of charge, but not very much.

  • If your iPad is low, get permission to use a classroom charging station.

  • Or get a pass to the media center, and they will charge your iPad.

What if I’m going on an airplane and I have to use Airplane mode, which turns off the wifi and cellular data?

  • Going on an airplane is the ONLY time that you are allowed to use Airplane mode.

  • However, taking your school iPad with you on vacation is not recommended!

  • Leave your school iPad at home while traveling and take your electronics with you.

  • Apple Classroom must be set to allow teacher to “Always” view your screen

  • Bluetooth must be on at all times while at school
